Gordon Medical Associates is participating in the Stanford Study on Lyme disease.
3/26/12 From the coordinator of the Stanford Study:
We currently have 88 patients with Lyme disease who have completed the study, with our goal being 100. We have 33 healthy participants who have completed the study, with our goal being 50. Participation in this study will make a big difference in our being able to finish the study so that we can analyze and write-up the results for talks and publications.
Stanford is still actively recruiting for this study. If you are a patient of Gordon Medical Associates, or have been in the past, and would like to participate in this study, please contact the GMA Research Coordinator or call (707) 575-5180.

Stanford University
Are you interested in participating in a research project at Stanford University researching Lyme disease?
You could be included in this important research if you:
· have been diagnosed with Lyme disease
· are an adult aged 21 years or older
· speak and read English
· have never been homeless
· since 2005 have not taken antibiotics everyday for 2 consecutive years
· allow for your medical record to be reviewed within this provider’s office for diagnoses and lab results
This study will evaluate and compare the sensitivity of various Lyme disease tests to their clinical diagnoses and test results of persons who are healthy and have never been diagnosed with Lyme disease.
Participants will have their blood drawn for diagnostic tests used for Lyme disease. Following this, they will complete questionnaires related to quality of life, demographics, distress, medical symptoms and treatment, coping and pain during a one-time 2 to 3 hour visit at Stanford University.
By participating in this study you will:
- Contribute valuable information that may benefit adults living with Lyme disease
- Receive a one-time $50 payment
